Last Friday I finished my summer internship at a frontline Architecture firm in London. It was a wonderful experience, Learning things about architecture was almost “not primary” (emphasise on almost). All that I observed and learnt were an amalgam of Architecture, people, stereotypes/or absence of it and about life itself.
I was guided at work right [...]

The counselor of my Alma mater once told me that 40% of the kids in the primary section came from broken families. As I got to know from other sources, that in other major schools around Colombo the situation is quite similar.

So I got off Wellawatta Junction to get some DVDs, and was walking towards Lorensz Road, when I had a brainwave. I’m prone to having brain waves. Some are actully brilliant ideas which materialize beautifully, [...]

And it’s led by none other than Nalin de Silva. In the Daily News Midweek Review on the 13th of February, Nalin takes responsibility on behalf of the Veemansaka Parshadaya, an organization of which he is treasurer. And then he goes on the typical I’m-not-getting-laid-so-I’m-so-frustrated manner of bashing western society for everything that’s wrong with [...]
